MBP Mid 2010 17" OS 10.6.4 maxed out configuration, two partitions.
Appleworks 2.2.9
Paint will not scale objects by percent: I fill percent fields with, say, 150 both ways and the throbbing button ignores my click.
When relaunch AW and open a paint page, drag a jpeg onto the page, open transform and by percent, it will do it, but only once. Any other images dragged onto that page will get marching ants but the resize by percents button will not respond. I don't see handles either. Guessing at the handle location and using RESIZE will work strangely ... seems to ignore but when I click on the image, the resize appears, with ants, over the original image and acts like the erase tool on the original image.
In DRAW, only the manual resize works and handles show. But percent does not work.
I have already done com file delete and plist delete in the folder per Peggy, after repairing permissions and restarting laptop.
I have uninstalled AW (using the Applications disc from an original flat-panel G4 igloo iMac)
and reinstalled AW 6.2.2 then updated to AW 6.2.9 then did Peggy's Permission repair followed by plist and com file deletes and restart and relaunch.
BTW my System Preferences panes don't render with their menu bar and traffic light buttons ( I get only the title of a pref panel and the <> buttons) until I click outside of the pane ... thought that info might give a clue.
